Dallas
International
Adoption Clinic
is a leading
medical clinic
in Texas which
specializes in
providing pre
and post
adoption medical
services for
children adopted
from foreign
countries.
Adoption
medicine
requires a sound
knowledge of
International
Pediatrics,
Tropical
Medicine,
Pediatric
Infectious
diseases, Child
Nutrition and
Behavioral and
Developmental
Assessment.
Above all it
needs an on
hands experience
of the health
care problems in
those faraway
countries to
give the
expecting
parents a
complete and
unbiased
assessment.
Our physicians
have a unique
perspective of
the medical
issues involved
in international
adoptions as
they have done
adoption medical
exams for 17
years in both
Asia and USA.

We offer post
adoption
pediatric care
to local area
children. This
care is often
neglected as
after a month or
so the child is
now considered
‘normal’. In
addition to
routine
pediatric care
these children
need special
care for:
a) Catch up
vaccinations.
b) Catch up
growth spurt
especially
important in
orphanage reared
children.
b) Psychosocial
adjustments.
d)
Speech/Language
crossover
confusion.
e) Nutritional
monitoring as
these children
may manifest
relative Fe, Ca
and Vitamin D
deficiency in
post adoption
growth spurt.
